Hi.
----------------------------------------I think it might be a idea to add a tag on the end of the clickable links on the forum headers for active research, to help let people know if a project is CPU only or uses GPU as well. Something like this: GO Fight Against Malaria - CPU only. Then if/when a project gets GPU support then it could be changed to Help Conquer Cancer CPU + GPU. Hope admin's read this and think about it, it might stop some of the new threads that keep on starting like, are we there yet, I what to use MY GPU,  YOU need MY GPU, get my point.  Just my two cents. [Edit 4 times, last edit by Former Member at Mar 7, 2012 1:53:37 AM] |

Bumpy.
For admin's to read and make a comment at least. Is it to hard to do or not worth the little change to the forum. |

When the GPU crunch does finally come, we know there will be additional opt-ins on My Projects, both for Active and Beta. Not so sure that non GPU available sciences need an tag. Identifying the once that do have a GPU version would give away which have not. Not at all informed how much fanfare WCG will give towards startup GPU computing, when it comes.

Bumpbity Bump. For admin's to read and make a comment at least. As much as you expect admins to read, it may be expected you do too. As of yesterday you can opt-in in general for GPU projects and since there's only going to be 1 for now, little to pick. Option to only get GPU version of a science and not the CPU version is looked at as much as keeping the whole as simple as possible. http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,32730 --//-- |

Any way i changed the title of thread, i'm done. |

We got the idea alright and as discussed in the stuff you follow, the whole is subject to change and review... each science that has a GPU science too, maybe getting 2 tick boxes. There's a long way to go before beta goes production.
